Sunday Stash #54 and a giveaway (now closed)

27Mar

27/03/2016

Today I have the privilege of hosting Sunday Stash while Molli enjoys the delights of San Francisco. Don’t panic though he’s due back to resume his duties for Sunday Stash on April 10 – not too long to wait.

I’ve done a little bit of stashing recently, but not much.

I’m slightly embarrassed about this one; well the fact that I’ve bought fabric to back a quilt that hasn’t been made yet.

I’ve had this FQ bundle in my stash for 3 years, it was sent as a gift by Valori Wells, I love it but have not found the right pattern to use it in or is it that I’ve not had the courage to cut it up.

Anyway the lovely Judith has some yardage of this print Peony in teal from the collection in her Etsy shop at a great price so I bought 4 metres of it ready to back the quilt!

Now I need a plan for the quilt, any suggestions as to what I should do with 18 FQ’s?

I bought a metre of each of these low volume prints from Kim Kight’s collection Lucky Strike for Cotton and Steel. I’ve done a bit of sewing with low volume fabrics recently and felt like I could do with a bit more to choose from, so no real plan for these just yet although I’m thinking about getting out a fabric pen to fill in the scorecards:

Also falling in to the shopping basket was a selection of Cotton and Steel FQ’s:

I’ve chopped them all in half and I’m keeping a fat eighth bundle for me and I’m giving the other bundle away to one of you lucky people. I’m adding in a pdf copy of my Welsh Blanket quilt (Caernarfon) pattern and the current issue of Love, Patchwork and Quilting along with the free gift:

I would love to see what you’ve been stashing or what you’ve found hidden in your stash that you may have forgotten about (surely it’s not only me who does that!). Please visit some of the other links because as Molli says ‘We want this to be a safe space for sewing supply collectors, after all!’.

To enter the giveaway (open internationally):

1. Leave a comment telling me what fabric you would most like to add to your stash, it doesn’t have to be a new line; maybe something from the past if you missed out on it.

2. Share the giveaway on social media and let me know in a separate comment.

3. Link up your blog post showing your stash additions or stash reflections below and leave a comment saying you did so to qualify for a bonus entry.

Tula Pink, Tula Pink, Tula Pink! I haven’t gotten into shopping online (a slippery slope from the looks of some of the Sunday Stashes) and my LQS doesn’t stoke her. But I’m hoping a trip to the big city next month might help on my quest!

I am excited about buying some backing for a log cabin quilt I am currently piecing.. waiting to see how big it will be to make sure I buy enough fabric for a cool wall hanging 🙂 I am shopping on eBay and lusting daily over my choices presently! 🙂 Kathi Clower

I don’t really know any fabric lines so I don’t really know what I’d like to add to my stash (and I don’t have a list), but the backing you’ve just bought from Jude would make it onto the list if I had one!

What a generous gift, and how lucky you are to host Sunday Stash. My favorite stash save is 5 yards of blue ocean fabric with manatees!! What a great quilt back it will make. I love Big bold florals and low volume prints, hadn’t seen the one you shared by Kim Kight, it took cuts in front of Carol Friedlander on my wish list. Thanks! thimblepie@gmail.com

I’ve had and have bundles laying around that I can’t seem to cut up either! I would love to see more Alison Glass Abacus in my stash. I’m not saying I don’t have a little…I just would love more! Thanks for hosting Sunday Stash and the wonderful giveaway!

Since moving house, I’ve been scrupulously working through even the tiniest scraps, so I’d be happy to add absolutely anything to my stash! Cotton and Steel is a huge favourite though… How about a St Louis 16 patch with your 18 fat quarters? It works well as the bigger squares show off the fabrics nicely.

I have a long list of wants, just about everything I see I want. But if I could get anything I would love to get a full bundle of Saltwater by Tula Pink. I had just gotten back into quilting when that was released, and foolish me did not get any of it.

I would love anything from Riley Blake’s collection. I have a hard time purchasing new fabric since my back injury but I would love a beautiful collection of fabrics. I love your blog! Thanks for the opportunity 🙂

I would love to add each colour of the Mini Bracelets as well as the normal size Bracelets to my stash, they go with so many projects and are just lovely. I love the colours in your stash and would turn all of it into a fun temblor quilt. Thanks for a great giveaway too. x

How to choose which fabric to add to my stash??? Anything by Carolyn Friedlander, Brigitte Heitland, Cotton & Steel, the entire Pearl Bracelets line – and that’s just a start! Thanks for the chance to win these gorgeous fabrics!

I love all cotton and steel but if I could find any one piece of fabric it would be an older line of Wizard of OZ fabric “there is no place like home” also on from that line that looks line an old story book fabric. Thanks for the chance to win.

Gorgeous stash additions, I like the idea of writing on that print! Thanks for the amazing giveaway! I would love to have more Hope Valley by Denyse Schmidt, I have some that was kindly given to me but it came out before I started sewing. I’m hopeful it will get re-released!

I really really wish I’d bought some of the Ruby Star Rising typewriters by Melody Miller. I do now have some of the cotton and steel black and white ones, but I still wish I had some of the original ones.

There are a lot of fabrics that I’d love to add to my stash but I think I’d absolutely love to have Heather Ross’s goldfish in bags print! So many of her prints bring back childhood memories and this is one of them!

I have admired Kaffe Fassett fabrics for a long time, but have not purchased any. I’m afraid once I do, I’ll just collect more and more of those beautiful prints! I do have other bundles in my stash that haven’t been used….just waiting for the perfect project.

I’d love to add some Alison Glass Handcrafted fabric to my stash. Just love the colors! Had a similar situation of an FQ bundle hanging out in my closet – just recently ended up using it for the Grand Total APQ quilt-along. It was a perfect fit! Good luck with your endeavor!

There are so many past Tula Pink lines I wish I’d bought at the time (or bought more of!) that are now like gold dust. Thanks for the chance to win some beautiful fabric – and that peony fabric is a great choice x

I would love to get some Sommer yardage for summer sundresses and tops. I am also stalking some of my favorite shops for the new Mendocino (mostly the seahorses in yellow- 2 of my favorite things!). Thank you!!

I have never purchased by collections. I always purchase fabrics that speak to me regardless of collection or color, but my preference has always been clear colors, nothing real confusing. Thank you for the chance to win and perhaps make something with a collection.

I missed Katie Jump Rope the first time–I keep thinking I’d better get busy and stash some away or I’ll miss it again and be sorry, because I really love Denyse Schmidt and always appreciate her lines even more with the passage of time.

Last year I discovered (a bit late) the Lili-fied line of fabric. At that time it was on its way out. I found a layer cake on sale and I loved every print in the line, which rarely happens. Recently, I fell in love with the Blueberry Park line.

Thank you for the wonderful giveaway and hosting this link up party. I think you bought wonderful fabric. When I was new to quilting I focused on buying a few fabric lines which I knew I would be using (and I did). I regret not having bought some of AMH lines in the past, however. I know how to change that! 🙂

I am wanting FLOW from moda, I just cannot decide what pattern to make so I keep looking at it and just keep looking at it! BTW, Valori Wells had a pattern for that bundle that makes a very pretty quilt…I think it’s still on her website.
